training partner

Workout buddy alongside

A training partner is someone who exercises or practices alongside you regularly, providing motivation, accountability, and sometimes competition.

In combat sports and martial arts, a training partner is essential for drilling techniques and sparring: She's been my training partner for three years.

The term extends to any skill development done in tandem: We were training partners in the sales program.
